To Anna Kaufman, my editor and guru, for your brilliance and your time, for listening to my Spotify playlists, for all the phone calls and oh my goodness all the emails, for teaching me how to celebrate each step of the way, for showing me how to strengthen my work, for illuminating my life in so many ways. I love working with you. Can we please have a fancy lunch when I make it out to New York?
To Mark Falkin, my agent: Thank you for believing in this story, for believing in me. I am so happy you have daughters and related to this book wholeheartedly, that you saw the need for these characters to live in the world, that you were pulled to it and helped bring it to life. Thank you for your revisions and your time and your sincerity. Thank you for our talks, which made me feel normal, or maybe we’re both just strange—either way, thank you. Thank you for your readership, for your compassion, for your friendship. You rule.
Thank you to my production editor, Kayla Overbey; to my copy editor, Terry Zaroff-Evans; to my cover designer, Madeline Partner (omg!); to my text designer, Steve Walker; to my proofreaders, Hayley Jozwiak and Andrea Molitor; to my publicist, Julie Ertl; to my marketers, Lindsay Mandel and Annie Locke; to my social media team, Alexa Thompson and Erin Merlo; and to Daniel Novack.
Thank you to all the readers. I truly hope some piece of this story resonates with you, that you can think back on your teen years and find a way to love yourself through it all.
